Café was great! Perfect portion for kids. And price is amazing. The price of the admission is also good considering that it turns into an annual fee. We spent a couple of hours here coloring, playing instruments, reading, playground, imagination and finding clues around the town. Highly recommend coming with kids.

I love visiting model villages around the country. I already visited a few and this one is one of my favorite. It’s quite small but there’s a lot of details to see so you can stay for an hour or more. You can even watch inside the windows to see the life of the miniature people. It’s so cute! And they also have a small museums with doll houses and railways.

Cute little model village, with a sensory garden, small mini golf, model trains and 1950 memorabilia. Plus a nice little tea shop with clean accessible toilets. There's also a children's play area. We didn't stay long about 45 minutes, but you easily stay a bit longer if you play mini golf and eat in the tea shop.

First visit here. Had a great morning exploring the village. Kids enjoyed finding the items on the sheet and story time in the kids play area. Model railway set up is awesome. Certainly recommend a visit.

Was a nice afternoon out with my grandson, and they had a little quiz going which he really enjoyed. There is a nice little shop and cafe as well as a putt and play. And once you are done seeing Wimborne in miniture, then you can take a nice stroll around Wimborne and visit the shops and various places to eat.

Lovely day out at the model village We had a great day out at the model village with four friends. When you pay for your tickets, you get a year’s free entry, which is a nice bonus. The village itself was very impressive — all the shops and houses had detailed rooms with miniature people and furniture inside. The cathedral even had its own scene, and there was a hand-built model railway where you could press buttons to move the trains and other models. There’s also a café and a shop on site. We spent a wonderful couple of hours there — a great place for families and well worth a visit!

Beautiful venue with lots to keep youngsters entertained. Ticket can be reused for entry for a year after purchase which is extremely considerate. Have been 3x already. On our most recent visit we had waffles and sandwiches in the cafe. All food was really tasty, service was also good.

We attended another great show on Sunday Night the Sun Studio show. The band were excellent and we saw Elvis, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis plus others. Wonderful band and all singers.

Went to see Mud. This is the 2nd time I've been here and I have something booked for February. The most wonderful building Brilliant sound quality. A small venue no hustle and bustle. Its got the beauty of being seated. A lovely venue staff are helpful. Plenty of facilities. Toilets, clean. Bar. Cafe. A real gem with some fabulous line ups.

Excellent venue with parking nearby. The staff are friendly and do anything to help. A coffee shop and all facilities plus plenty of staff to answer questions. A full house at the gig which was Wishbone Ash and a great time had by everyone keeping music live. Recommended👍

A wonderful older venue. Good sight lines and sound. Friendly, helpful staff.

Really good experience at The Tivoli to see Genesis Connected. Very good performance with good selection and mox of songs. Tivoli staff are amazing.

Great Art Deco Theatre that is a pleasure to visit..just the right size to actually see who you're watching but large enough for some of the more famous acts to be seen....good comfortable seating..plenty of loos and great Ice Cream ..what more do you need ❤️

Another great night watching The Rozzers a Sting tribute act. Amazing sound a real good night out

Nice little place to go and have a wounder, they have a lovely garden in the back, and the offer activities for children to do like hunting for objects. Nice little gift shop and a cafe too. Really worth a look if your in town.

Really interesting little museum, with lots of local history and artifacts. A beautifully kept garden with lots of knowledgeable volunteers about to give more information. Plenty to amuse the kids, and a nice tea rooms. Pay once, and return for free during following 12months!

Fantastic local museum in an historic building. Recently refurbished and conserved in an innovative, sympathetic way that makes the building one of the main exhibits. Lots of fascinating objects, with stories linking them with the previous owners of the house and local community. Displays are wonderfully presented so your senses are not too overwhelmed, with some really innovative interpretations and interactives. Amazing garden and tea room at the back. Plenty for children. Excellent gift and book shop at the entrance/exit.

Took my grandchildren to the Dragon event. Was very disappointed. It was over promised and underdelivered. The children enjoyed some of it, but it wasnt the dragon expereince that I was expecting. For the girls, the best bit was dressing up in dragon costumes.

What a lovely family-friendly museum! Really warm welcome at the front desk and entry fee allows you to visit all year round. Fantastic How to Train Your Dragon Themed trail around the museum which my 7 and 4 year old boys really took to... Once they finally moved on from making their Dragon shields at the well stocked craft table at the start! They were keen to find all the feature dragons, dragon eggs and baby dragons, while also we all enjoyed the various dragon themed activities. The museum itself was full of interesting exhibits and local history and charm. The gardens were really lovely too and were a perfect spot for our picnic. Thanks very much for having us.

Fantastic museum catering for absolutely everybody with special interactive items for children as well as accessible areas and displays also suitable for those with mobility issues. Numerous interesting rooms with various themes and an extensive history of the historic building and its residents. Excellent facilities including a spacious cafe, magnificently restored garden with various seating areas, lift to first floor, disabled toilets, library, second hand bookshop and gift shop. Iron Age skeleton found locally with amazing research information, local history and geography detailed displays in many forms including drawers full of items, videos, cabinets as well as hands on activities. Recommend spending about 3 hours there to explore everything including the wonderful garden and cafe. Good value for money too - your entrance ticket can be used again within one year! A brilliantly restored museum with helpful volunteers in an excellent location in the centre of Wimborne - you can hear the church bells ringing during your visit too!

Great half-term afternoon out. Family of 4 visited on a rainy Friday afternoon in October half-term and we all had a blast. Our girls, aged 3 and 5, both loved the dragon-themed event - particularly the crafting and dress-up elements which kept them entertained all afternoon. The museum itself has lots of great hands-on, interactive and interesting exhibits for adults and children alike and I’ll definitely be returning. Staff were all super friendly and helpful, from the ladies on the front desk to those helping with the crafts and those in the adjoining tea room. Great value and look forward to returning for future events. Thanks!

If you like historical churches, this is definitely one to visit. We were given a tour guide by a wonderful volunteer who certainly knew everything there was to know about the church. If you’re visiting it’s a great place to explore. Astronomical Clock, with a blue-green image of the Earth at centre, and the Sun rotating in the outer lighter-blue ring, and the Moon in the inner starred ring is a must see.

Not visited the Minster in decades, seems so much smaller than I remembered. Managed to see the chained library and boy did I love the information the woman volunteer gave about the libary and the books.

I was disappointed, almost disgusted. The church is a real mess inside, full of conference style noticeboards for this and that, barriers, children’s toys, cupboards and furniture randomly around the place. A real dumping ground and kind of disrespectful, I can’t imagine it would feel very sacred if you wanted to pray or contemplate. I suppose some would say it’s a community building so good that it’s “lived in”, but it’s also an important and beautiful historic edifice, a balance has to be struck. The library was closed, no explanation. Adverts for apps to “experience” a couple of the splendid features - couldn’t really work out what they were meant to do let alone get them to do it and the notices about it just added to the clutter. A distinct lack of interpretation of the historic features (a laminated notice stuck on with blutak if you’re lucky), I’m sure I missed lots of significant things; I suppose I was suppose to buy and absorb a guide or something, but there wasn’t exactly much pointing you to this or encouraging you either. Because it IS historic and beautiful of course it is still worth visiting and it looks splendid from outside - hence the two stars. But so much more could be made of it and I feel the town/diocese or whatever should take more pride in this significant site. It deserves more. I’ll have to go again to try to see the library and other things I missed

An absolutely lovely place to visit. I would recommend it to anyone, there is a lot to see, the Bankes family vault in the crypt and chained library in the tower to name a couple. I must say it was disappointing to hear the organ after the rebuild, It was a grand instrument but somewhat underwhelming now in comparison, not that this should reflect on the place it's self. 5 stars, well worth a visit!

I would love to have visited the Minster. We came last Sunday afternoon and it was shut. Who shuts a, church on a Sunday? We happened to be in the area yesterday afternoon (Saturday) and it was shut again because it was after 4.00pm. However the grounds are lovely especially the eco garden, very peaceful.

Spectacular ancient church steeped in history. There are 2 saxon kings of England buried here amongst other historic people all with a story to tell. You might need to use google to reveal more about them than the information posted.

Beautiful and historic building with some fascinating details. The church is clearly well used by the community, which is a good thing, but some areas were dreadfully cluttered which detracted from the visitor experience.

Very nice location to have Lunch and Tea

Lovely old mill building converted into Artisan work spaces and shops selling their crafts. There is also a Cafe that sells yummy cakes and muffins with excellent coffee....the baguettes are also fab.

There are some wonderful artisans here, to admire and buy their work. Silver, pottery, embroidery, hand drawn cards, one-off artwork and jewellery of all types. It's so lovely to be able to speak to the designers and talk about their work. I really enjoyed my time.

Good collection of local craft artists in this relax spot by the mill. I guest it just needs a little bit more publicity within (& beyond) Dorset to do itself justice.

Very pleasant place to sit on a sunny day with a small selection of lunch time treats which we had. Or some very delicious looking cakes. Local roasted coffee and Dorset tea on offer among the other choices of drinks. Nice service with a smile too.

Great fun looking at the old mill. In the nearby cafe I envied another table for their pizza and chips but I did enjoy my afternoon tea I shared with my dear mother. The grounds are nice, especially near the river and the bridge.

A wonderful place to visit, to see Craft Makers/Artists creating and selling their work. Then you can have a coffee/tea or lunch in the Little Pickle cafe.

We have just had a wonderful afternoon tea for a hen party here at No 9. The staff were super friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The food, drinks, atmosphere and decor were all perfect, and everyone had a great time. We did not feel rushed and they even packed up the cake we couldn’t squeeze in so we could take it home. Throughly recommend this little place. Well done and thank you to all xx

Service was great, the lady was very sweet. I got the turmeric iced chai latte, which I absolutely LOVED, really lovely. For food, I got the soup of the day; carrot and coriander. It was super fresh tasting and the presentation was really sweet. The decor and cafe itself feels like a hidden gem, 💎 really cute, cozy cottage vibes. I’d recommend coming here if you get the chance. My grandmother got some iced tea. They do all tea iced!! It was surprisingly flavourful and delicious, especially with no sugar.

We had the Goats Cheese Toastie on Sourdough with Chips. It tasted delicious and fresh too. Lovely ambience near the church too.

I often pop in for a coffee. The staff are great, and always have a smile. I'd book if coming in for lunch, it's very popular. Afternoon tea is also rather nice, I love the home made scones and cakes they make.

Sadly Number 9 is now under new ownership so do not go here if you are looking for breakfast as they no longer sell pork??!!! So much for a traditional English breakfast!! No proper sausages or bacon on their menu, used to be such a lovely café. If you just want a cake....you should be fine but there are much better places to get cake in town, Petit Prince for example!

Outstanding food,service and location 10/10. We had the vegan Tomatoe and pepper soup to start with.Mum had the meat quiche I had a vegan coronation sandwich! Amazing!

Such a lovely place! Extremely friendly & welcoming staff 😍 Excellent coffees & delicious cakes, including great vegan options 😋 Many thanks! Highly recommended 😊

I had the pleasure of dining in this beautiful gem restaurant at the start of July 2025. The staff go above and beyond to make your visit there super bespoke. What I loved was the fact that they really look after their guests, especially being suoer considerate regarding dietary requirements. This made my evening as it was so helpful and made me feel really relaxed and at ease knowing that I will come out of there feeling absolutely fine. Food was delicious, portions were generous and we were back for seconds the following night! Loved the soup! I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants delicious, high-quality food at reasonable prices. Special thank you to Kristina and Nando for making our evenings feel extra special. We will be back!

Absolutely wonderful place, been going for years , also handy for lunch time specials slightly smaller meal but still great value for money. Staff have been there years ,extremely friendly and helpful nothing it to much trouble , if a large party may be worth checking if thinking of going in the evening as it can get busy ,but usual lunch times you should be OK for a table unless peak holiday season.

Had the lunchtime deal. I had fettuccine bolognese which was very good and my daughter had the "half" pizza which she really enjoyed. Friendly service. Sat on the veranda and it was pleasant and all in all very straight forward.

We were there for lunch. 5 adult and 1 children. Staff are friendly and helpful. Lovely restaurant. Lunch came with salad and a main (pasta/ pizza , many options!) . It was 55gbp per person. This is the best cost per value restaurant we ever had in the UK. Booking is advised as they could be very full.

What an amazing meal. We had a pasta fish and a pizza. Both so tasty & filling. The whole lunch bill was £13.50. We will be back when we’re next in the area.

Food was ok... Average. Service was welcoming and good. Place was noticeably worn but felt cosy and busy.

Simply the best Pizza around, and the whole place is so cosy, with the staff always being so friendly. Been coming for years and can't recommend it highly enough.

Great food and very friendly service. Also really reasonably priced. I had chicken balti which was delicious.

Sunday night, dining alone, expected good things given these reviews. The food came out in less than 10 minutes and was obviously reheated. That’s fine, but please as long as it’s not microwaved. Low and behold, hot on the outside and cold on the inside. I said that if you reheat something, you need to do it slowly so the heat is consistent throughout. Sent it back and food came out the same 2 minutes later. Left without finishing, absolutely no apology made.

So good. Firstly, menu has a lot of variety so straight away I knew one visit would not be enough. Of course that depended on whether the food was good..... it was, very good. I had the Madu Murgh and, oh my word, it was tasty. Add on top friendly efficient service and reasonable prices and we have an all round great place to eat. Sept 2022 - still awesome. Rack of lamb is amongst one of the tastiest things I've ever eaten.

We dropped in based on reviews while camping. Didn't disappoint at all. Food was exceptional, staff were very knowledgeable and recommended a third I never would of chose. We are very spoilt where we live, with some amazing Nepalese and Indian restraunts, however this is definitely up there. And it's obviously very popular. Will definitely recommend

I had an amazing lamb jalfrezi, best I have ever had and growing up in Birmingham and the black country says it all as there are also so many authentic restaurants there. My husband had the Ghurkas revenge and this was fiery tasty and better than a vindaloo. Definitely go again and highly recommend.

I visited Rimjhim on Saturday 1 February 2020 in the early evening and it did not disappoint - this was the nicest Indian food I've ever had. I was with two other people. This was my first visit and I'll definitely be back! The restaurant comprises of one small main dining area plus a smaller area further back with a selection of tables with full table service. Booking is definitely advisable. The team were very friendly and welcoming and I had no issues - we got everything we expected in good time and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I enjoyed some papadums and onion bhaji for my starter and a chicken tikka masala for my main course with a garlic naan. The food arrived hot, was well presented and tasted really good. There was a good selection of food and I found something that appealed to me easily. The food was very good value for money, I paid around £28 for two courses and drinks. Overall I really enjoyed my visit and will definitely come and visit again.

Very friendly stuff. It was first time i tried Indian food as i had never wanted to try, but it was fantastic. Very quality and nice tasty food. Good price. Only one minus is there, they need improve toilet cleaning. Anyway we highly recommed this restaurant.

We went at lunchtime. We hadn't booked a table but they were well accommodating. We also had a pushchair which they helped to bring up the stairs as there is no lift. We had the lunch time special which is excellent value and very delicious. We would 100% go back!

Delicious authentic Italian food. Homemade Tiramasu was delicious. Lovely waitress and great service.

Came here with my daughter last minute looking for dinner whist on a journey. The staff were fantastic and friendly and the atmosphere was warm and inviting, so I was happy. Then they bring out the food, it was delicious and the portions were spot on. Had a delicious carbonara and my daughter thoroughly enjoyed her lasagna. Puddings were delightful too. And the bill wasn't something i needed a mortgage for. Whatever you're doing. Keep doing it.

A very nice authentic individual family run restaurant. Very friendly owner and staff. Good tasty range of Italian choices. Our party of 8 all had something different and were sampling each other's dishes they looked so good. The owner was very good with an under 2 y.o. we had with us and nothing was a problem with any other additional dishes we ordered over the mains. Definitely will be back again and will be suggesting Piccolo Mondo to other friends and family.

Imogen and Wez provided excellent service. Food was very nice and I definitely recommend the pistachio icecream. Think the price was reasonable and atmosphere was very nice. Thanks for making my birthday meal great. Only downfall I would say that there's not a great selection of cider, apart from that it was very good.

Great restaurant, been going here for years and they have lovely friendly staff and authentic Italian food cooked with love. Delicious super garlicy garlic bread, lovely flavour on the lasagna and a great tiramisu to finish it off

I can honestly say this is the best Italian restaurant in Dorset! The atmosphere was lovely ❤️ the food was outstanding it really was! The place was absolutely bustling and I will be back… it was nice to giggle with the owner and actually eat authentic Italian 🇮🇹 I am in love with the place! Thankyou!

Pretty little cafe with good homemade food. Rarebit was delicious. Staff were warm and friendly. Very busy so recommend you book. Paid parking 5 minute walk away.

It was very busy when we (three adults and two small children) arrived but we were provided with a suitable table. It was carefully explained to us that there would be a significant wait, as they were dealing a large group, but that was fine, as we were in no hurry and the atmosphere was very convivial. We were served with drinks straight away and our food orders were duly taken. The food was very good, perfect for a late morning brunch, and reasonably priced. It's not my first visit and it won't be my last.

Our first time in Wimborne and this cafe was recommended to us. A lovely, traditional English menu. We got the veggie and big breakfast. Both were amazing. Very tasty and that egg was gorgeous! It is a very clean and cosy cafe with friendly staff who are very efficient. They have cute bathrooms upstairs also.

Amazing food, amazing service, amazing everything. Need I say more?

Sunday morning breakfast, and Cloisters is an absolute joy. My first visit there and from the moment you walk through the door you receive a genuine welcome and you can tell they appreciate their customers and customers appreciate them. We both enjoyed our breakfasts, which were of the highest quality. Worth a visit and next time I am in Wimborne, I'll be trying the rest of the menu. A rare gem.

Lovely cafe/ bistro with plenty of gluten free options. Reasonably priced, good understanding of cross contamination. A busy little place but food wasnt affected and came quickly.

We chose this one out of all the places you can go in wimborne and wasn't too disappointed, it was busy but we managed to get a table upstairs. We rang the bell to order and waited for a short while, the menu was well put together and the prices was reasonable. The place was tidy,but upstarts was a little squashed. The food was well presented and the staff was very pleasant. Shame we didn't order the giant tea cake as it went past when we paid and it was huge...
